Lagos state: unpainted buses to be illegal

Lagos state Commissioner for Transportation, Kayode Opeifa, has warned that operators of unpainted commercial buses and taxis in the state to stop such practices or face prosecution when caught.

He said that anybody operating commercial transportation with an unpainted vehicle would be assumed to have criminal intention, and passengers should be wary of falling into their trap.

Opeifa further warned operators masquerading as uniformed personnel, operating with unpainted and yellow vehicles and disobeying traffic rules and regulations to desist from such acts as the Military authorities take exception to this.

He also assured of government readiness to prosecute offenders apprehended in the court. He explained that everyone is welcome to participate in the transportation system in the State but must do so according to laid down rules, regulations, and procedures.
